Good day, everyone and welcome to the Genesco First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Conference Call. Just a reminder, today’s call is being recorded. Participants on the call expect to make forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the participants’ expectations as of today, but actual results could be different. Genesco refers you to this morning’s earnings release and to the company’s SEC filings, including the most recent 10-K filing for some of the factors that could cause differences from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements made during the call today. Participants also expect to refer to certain adjusted financial measures during the call. All non-GAAP financial measures referred to in the prepared remarks are reconciled to their GAAP counterparts in the attachments to this morning’s press release and in schedules available on the company’s homepage under Investor Relations in the Quarterly Earnings section.

I will now turn the call over to Mr. Rob Dennis, Genesco’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.

Rob Dennis
